Chateau Lynch Bages 1989Pauillac
1ts, 1wl, 9lscl
Bottle (9)

"The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but
what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of
the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the
more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close
to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable
aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening
at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme
de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite." (99+ pts. Robert
Parker, Wine Advocate #196, Aug. 2011)
